Using negative muons as a non-destructive probe of biomaterials
Expanding the provision of tools for trace element analysis of biomaterials is very attractive, especially where the tools can be used non-destructively and permit analysis... -
Lipid bilayers suspended beneath the air/water interface for neutron reflecti...
Bacterial membranes contain safety valves called mechanosensitive ion channels, which protect the bacterium from changes in the osmotic pressure of their environment. However,... -
Solid-supported lipid bilayers for studying mechanosensitive ion channels: to...

The origin of the dissolution of cellulose in alkali/urea aqueous solution
Cellulose is produced over tens of billions of tons every year in the world. It is one of the most abundant natural polymer resources. Compared with petroleum-based polymers,... -
Complete data set of different hydrations levels of alpha-Lactalbumin
Zaccai et al. proposed to build up a neutron Dynamics Data Bank which would be populated with dynamical data of biological macromolecules measured with different techniques,... -
Understanding the molecular origin of cononsolvency
The term cononsolvency has been used to describe a situation in which a polymer is less soluble in a mixture of two cosolvents than it is in either one of the pure solvents. If... -

DRUG EFFECTS ON INTRACELLULAR WATER DYNAMICS: CISPLATIN IN HUMAN BREAST CANCE...
Within a biological system such as a cell or tissue, water structure and dynamics are known to be changed by the presence of biomolecules or extrinsic entities (e.g. ions or... -
3D imaging of the internal structure using negative muons as a non-destructiv...
Elemental analysis is a process in which a sample is analysed for its composition. Often this is accomplished by destructive and damaging techniques. Clearly, such techniques... -
Glycine association under extreme environmental conditions
There is a huge interest in the properties of water under extreme conditions of temperature, pressure and environment. This interest ranges from the water vapour jets that... -
Continuous contrast variation in magnetic reference layer measurements
We propose a feasibility study for continuous contrast variation in soft-condensed matter reflectometry experiments using the technique of magnetic reference layers. Changing... -

Exploratory SERGIS/SESANS study of Si nanowires
Nanowires are increasingly being used in life science as nanometer probes and interfacing with cells. In our work we focus on the interaction between nanowires and a... -
A Surface Chemistry Approach to Microfluidic Capture of T-Cells for On-Body T...
In late 2017, T-cell therapy became the first gene therapy to have been approved by the US FDA and in 2018 approved for use in the UK. From the clinical data presented thus far,... -
Investigating the Influence of Polymer Properties on Cyclic Peptide-Polymer C...
Cyclic peptides with alternating side chain stereochemistry are capable of self-assembling into long nanotubes (CPNTs). The conjugation of polymers to these peptides renders the... -
Using SERGIS to characterise monolayer buckling on the approach to collapse
Thin films just one or a few molecules thick can play an important role in controlling many important phenomena. This includes the lipid monolayers that coat the surface of our... -
